You might need a knife and fork for this hearty pizza! Loaded with Italian flavor and plenty of fresh tomatoes, it's bound to become a family favorite. It's even better with a homemade, whole wheat crust! âDebra Kell, Owasso, Oklahoma Ingredients:
1/2 pound reduced-fat bulk pork sausage |
1 prebaked 12-inch pizza crust |
1 package (6 ounces) sliced turkey pepperoni |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1-1/2 cups chopped plum tomatoes |
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
additional fresh basil leaves, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Place crust on an ungreased baking sheet. Top with pepperoni, sausage and cheese. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted.
